Jellyfish A/W 2012




The starting point for this collection was jellyfish. By combining a mixture of layered translucent textures and bright glowing wires the effect created is very reminiscent of jellyfish in their natural underwater habitat.




I developed an outline of a jellyfish image on illustrator by repeating and resizing this basic shape and then translated this texture into fabric by layering translucent fabrics.

I used electroluminescent wires and fibre optics to create the glowing effect. I combined translucent fabrics both stiff (cotton organdie) and more flowing along with neoprene in my designs to reflect the texture of Jellyfish.






I decided to make a short fashion film to promote my collection.
